Little Dresses for Africa Project Needs Supplies

We will be collecting sewing supplies and pillowcases to be given to a newly formed after-school sewing club at Powell Middle School in Brooksville.

This group of approximately 25 eighth grade students will then use the supplies for their club sewing projects (which has little to no funding), as well as making pillowcase style dresses for NTJWC to send to the non-profit agency Little Dresses for Africa.

This US based organization distributes dresses via orphanages and churches to young girls living in the most rural areas of Africa and in dire need of help.
